Q&A(5)
Q: I have lower back and pain in both hip regions. How many patches can I use at one time?
A: I would start using one on each side of where you have the pain. I love this product. I have RA and it helps me a lot. As you use it you will be able to know if you need additional.
submitted bymarisol - 8 years agoA: I use as many as 8 of the small patches in an area. There's no limit really. I have used them for years. They are amazing. Salonpas also are available in large patches. One has lidocaine. I use those on old surgery areas & my neck or shoulder.
submitted byVBragg - 8 years agoA: They recommend just using one at a time, maybe the large one, but more or leaving them on past the eight hour time doesn't seem to be a problem. They helped my back and knee quite a bit for a while but it seems to eventually lose its effect over a lot of use. The lidocaine is very good but difficult to put on by oneself.
submitted byGoPain - 8 years agoA: When using Salonpas Pain Relieving Patch 60ct up to 4 patches can be used at the same time.

Q: Are these individually wrapped?
A: Hello! Yes, Salonpas patches are individually wrapped. They come in foil pouches that help to maintain the heat in some formulations and keep the patches fresh. This individual packaging also helps to prevent the patches from sticking together or drying out.

Q: I tried these a couple years ago on my knees but they fell off as soon as I stood up. Is their 'stickiness' better now? On tv, they advertise it is but that means very little.
